We are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent body that monitors care homes across England.
Care Quality Commission
Regulated care you can trust
At Wardington House, we strive for excellence in everything we do - and that includes regulatory compliance.

Wardington House is consistently rated as providing good and outstanding care in areas that matter most—safety, responsiveness, leadership, and the quality of support we offer to people living with dementia. You can view our most recent inspection report here:
What CQC inspectors look for
The CQC assesses care homes against five key questions:
-
Is the service safe?
-
Is it effective?
-
Is it caring?
-
Is it responsive to people’s needs?
-
Is it well-led?
Our team works hard every day to meet and exceed these expectations, creating a warm, professional environment where residents feel safe and are well cared for.
